Data Sources

A data source stores the connection information for a GE Digital APM database and allows users to access that database. When you log in to GE Digital APM, you will select the data source that corresponds to the GE Digital APM database that you want to use.

Data sources are associated with a specific GE Digital APM Server to indicate which databases are accessible from that server.

Connection information about data sources is stored in MeridiumDatasources.xml, which exists on the GE Digital APM Server in the C:\ProgramData\Meridium folder. This file is created automatically when you install or upgrade the GE Digital APM Server. When it is first created during a new installation, it will be empty. It will be updated automatically as you create, modify, and delete data sources.

Note: Data source passwords are encrypted in the file.
